It grew out of my perception that most new members of the congregation knew little, if anything, of the history and governance of the Conservative Movement, and had virtually no context or framework within which to understand the Movement‘s current positions on such sensitive issues as the role of gay and lesbian Jews and intermarriage between Jews and non-Jews.

    INDEX of the PROCEEDINGS of THE RABBINICAL ASSEMBLY ❦ INDEX of the PROCEEDINGS of THE RABBINICAL ASSEMBLY ❦ Volumes 1–62 1927–2000 Annette Muffs Botnick Copyright © 2006 by The Rabbinical Assembly ISBN 0-916219-35-6 All rights reserved. No part of the text may be reproduced in any form, nor may any page be photographed and reproduced, without written permission of the publisher. Manufactured in the United States of America Designed by G&H SOHO, Inc. CONTENTS Preface . vii Subject Index . 1 Author Index . 193 Book Reviews . 303 v PREFACE The goal of this cumulative index is two-fold. It is to serve as an historical reference to the conventions of the Rabbinical Assembly and to the statements, thoughts, and dreams of the leaders of the Conser- vative movement. It is also to provide newer members of the Rabbinical Assembly, and all readers, with insights into questions, problems, and situations today that are often reminiscent of or have a basis in the past. The entries are arranged chronologically within each author’s listing. The authors are arranged alphabetically. I’ve tried to incorporate as many individuals who spoke on a subject as possible, as well as included prefaces, content notes, and appendices. Indices generally do not contain page references to these entries, and I readily admit that it isn’t the professional form. However, because these indices are cumulative, I felt that they were, in a sense, an historical set of records of the growth of the Conservative movement through the twentieth century, and that pro- fessional indexers will forgive these lapses.

  • Shabbat at Livnot
    Shabbat at Livnot The view from the Livnot Balcony Letters from Participants Collected November 2013 ust as Shabbat has bound the Jewish people together for centuries, so it has the potential to revitalize “J Jewish commitments among those for whom Jewish experience has lost its interest and edge…Our goal must be to make Shabbat a habit in the lives of this generation so that they experience the true ethos of the Jewish people: The ways in which the social, spiritual and sensual come together as one.” - Michael Steinhardt. An excerpt from an article which appeared in the Summer 2013 edition of Contact Magazine, the Journal of the Steinhardt Foundation for Jewish Life Dear Reader, This week, we began a concerted campaign to collect 1000 letters from Livnot participants describing their Shabbat experience at Livnot. What you see before you is a compilation of the first outcomes of this campaign- over 300 letters collected in just four days, and a constant flow of letters ever since. These letters come from a wide variety of participants, who experienced different Livnot programs over a span of our 34 years of existence. This effort was triggered by the recent article written by Birthright Israel co-founder Michael Steinhardt entitled “Shabbat is our Birthright.” The article describes the Shabbat experience as the central component to connecting young, unaffiliated Jews to their Judaism. We at Livnot share this belief in the value of Shabbat, and as a response to this article chose to share how the unique Shabbat experience at Livnot has significantly impacted our participants’ lives and connection to Judaism.
